Health Priorities Prevent Performance
Rodgers had intended to perform alongside former bandmate and drummer Simon Kirke during the event but shared on Bad Company’s Instagram:
“My hope was to be at the Rock & Rock Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony and to perform for the fans, but at this time I have to prioritize my health.”
Performance Lineup and Background

Health History and Statement
Though Rodgers did not specify his current condition, he previously revealed to CBS News that he suffered two major strokes in 2016 and 2019, along with 11 minor strokes, which temporarily impaired his speech.
“I have no problem singing, it’s the stress of everything else,” Rodgers said. “Simon along with some outstanding musicians will be stepping in for me — guaranteed to rock.”
